I don't have an example off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure I've heard rhymes in Japanese (mostly rap) songs. They are rare, though. But they also can span more than one syllable.

A lot of English-language rap songs have complicated rhyme schemes (much more than single-syllable) as well!
Rakim (of Eric B. & Rakim) was one of the first to take this to new heights.
An example from "Lyrics of Fury", with the rhyming words emphasized in caps:
The SCENE of the CRIME every NIGHT at the SHOW
The FIEND of the RHYME on the MIC that you KNOW
